Joanne F McConnell

Joanne turned her love of flying, both as a recreational pilot and flight attendant for a major airline, into a well-run tax practice initially serving transportation workers, before expanding her practice to include rental property owners, small business owners as well as overseas taxpayers who need more complex filings including FBARs, Streamline Programs and Renunciation of US citizenship.

With a Masters in Taxation and a BA (English) from San Francisco State University, Joanne started her tax practice in 1993. As a sole proprietor, she has prepared over 10,000 tax returns and successfully handled over 100 IRS audits for clients and non-clients alike over the years, saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After 30 years of intensive tax work, Joanne is thrilled to be joining BASC Expertise to lighten her workload and offer her clients improved service and turnaround times for tax preparation, increased product offerings including business entity taxes, bookkeeping and more. Working with Deirdre, a former NASA engineer, and Kristen, a grounded mom, we three have the land, oceans and sky covered for your tax needs!
